your going to need the Metra harness for the power to the factory plugs, and an antenna adapter.

This is all in the shopping list in the sticky as stated above.

the eclipse unit will have its own harness(s) coming from the uni

should be..

power / speaker wire harness
a/v harness
sterring wheel control harness
and GPS antenna

power/ speaker harness goes to your metra harness.

Its very easy, its color coded.

Be sure to watch your stipes and solid wires.

I remember the Eclipse harness stripes on the power harness in my wifes car was kinda hard to see the stripes (negative wires).

GPS should be a green rectangle type plug...plug it in and mount the antenna above the factory clock.

A/V should be used if you plan on using an external video display.

steering wheel control....pretty obvious. You have to buy a PAC adapter to keep your factory controls

I mounted my GPS reciever under the clock. If i'm looking at the diagrams right, the factory GPS receiver sits behind the clock.

Here's where I mounted my GPS receiver. No problems with reception, since there's metal below it and no metal above it.
